Senior defender Bryana Hunter and freshman forward Sophia Aragon of the University of Arkansas were honored by the SEC on Monday.

Hunter was named the conference's defensive player of the week, while Aragon was tabbed freshman of the week.

The two Razorback players helped Arkansas pick up victories against No. 13 Tennessee and Tennessee-Martin.

Hunter earned a SEC player of the week award for the first time in her career. Aragon was the first Razorback to win freshman of the week since Ava Tankersley in 2020.
